Lively illustrations and cutaways depict the construction of the chapel, the Florentine workshop, and Michelangelo's painstaking method for creating the glorious ceiling. The contributions of everyone involved in this monumental feat - from Pope Sixtus IV and Julius II to Botticelli and Michelangelo - are documented in this fascinating blend of art and history. Clear, descriptive text and lush, full-color illustrations on every page. Logical, chronological presentation of the progression of the chapel's masterpieces, from conceptualization through restoration.
